It will be for your protection

Hey here is a thought that can be added to all the thoughts we are hearing about preventing another Sandy Hook. Face it folks it is not possible. So forget that pie in the sky idea. Too bad so sad. But I am sure that steps can be taken to make it a near impossibility. Well let's not go that far. Hey, hope springs eternal. There have been some suggestion that armed security or even armed teachers be in place. Well trained of course in the use of firearms. The first and so far the only objection I am hearing, is about the cost. Well here is a thought.

Teachers belong to unions. Unions exist to what......protect their members. I think protection of members would include them not getting shot dead. So hows about the unions either pick up the tab or contribute to the cost of protecting their members. Now that's an idea. You know, unions actually doing something with the dues they collect. Instead of contributing to their favorite political party. To elect folks that have absolutely no ideas on how to fix this problem. Other than posturing and trying to take away the only tool that give a person or persons a chance to stay alive and protecting others.  From being shot dead so to speak. A twelve inch ruler is not a viable deterrent. Or asking what classroom the person would like to visit and why. Maybe they could send some of the thugs that showed up at the state house in Michigan. Borrow them from the auto workers union. They like to bat people around. The reason they acted that way so they say. Was to protect union members from the bogey man that wants to take collective bargaining away. 

I think it would really show how dedicated they are to do what they say they they exist for. Come on NEA and teachers unions all over the country. Chip in and buy your members the peace of mind they deserve. Pay for your own security. After all security comes in many forms not just economic. I am sure they will agree that this idea is one they can latch on to.
